Looks good!
I'm a little concerned about what appears to be a loop in your accelerator cable running next to and slightly above the pedal, it seems to me that there's a risk of catching your foot in the loop but I tend to be paranoid about such things.
I've sat in the chassis a decent number of times making brum noises and pushing the pedals as I had the same concern
. It does glide on my shoe but its very close to the side panel, what I am going to do though is P-Clip it to the aluminum side panel next to where it is "loose", which ensures no problems- other than that the cable itself is rock solid and you can't get your foot stuck in it
The G13B is a great little engine and they rebuild so easily, everything is stamped/labelled already for you so with a little bit of patients it all goes back together. The only thing I would say is that it comes from a FWD car and this is evident in everything that is attached to it. Both water rails point in the wrong direction, the standard inlet manifold is bulky at best and its likely you'll have to fabricate an exhaust manifold, oh and a sump too.
As for F1 im located back at home base, learning vehicle dynamics and operations room on race weekends.
The T-shirt is from classic ford magazine over here in the UK, my brother has a 59' Ford Popular that we work on from time to time so I caught the Ford bug early
Thanks for all the positive comments, I'm trying to keep a high attention to detail and hopefully it will pay off.
